Review:

This month I chose the curated box - Korean Beauty. The box is a pretty yellow color.  I have reused both my previous boxes.

The first product I am reviewing is Re:P - Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb. This is a soothing mask which uses herbs and kaolin clay to reduce redness and deeply cleanse pores It smells nice and comes off very easily from the tube. It is light unlike other masks and very easily glides on the skin. Below you can see a before and after pic. After washing I did feel my skin feeling very soft. This retails are $41.

The next product I am reviewing is IPKN's Flash Cream Radiant Primer. It is rich in fruit extracts and also has SPF 15. I applied it before I used a compact powder. First thing that struck me is the smell. This primer smells so good! It has a smooth and luminous texture that glides onto the skin very easily. Can be used as it is or under makeup. I have used a primer from Revlon and the smell was horrible and left white patches on my skin. This is a winner!! This retails at $28.

The next product I am reviewing is lip stain by TonyMoly in red. I was excited that this was included in the box, however after applying it, I felt my lips getting a little dry. After applying dots on my lips and smudging it, I barely got any color. So I had to use it like a normal lip gloss. It dries of soon, and has a matte like finish which I like and it has a nice cherry smell which I liked too. Unfortunately, it does not last all day like it is supposed to, so that is a big disappointment. I used this on my cheeks as well and it looks very natural. This retails for $6

The next product is by Manefit, and it is a beauty planner Cucumber Soothing + Moisturizing Mask. This sheet mask is infused with cucumber that helps to soothe, tone and restore moisture to dry skin. Though I haven't got the chance to try this, I know I am going to love it. Since I have combination skin, my cheeks tend to get very dry and not that it is winter, I have to always apply a moisturizer. So hoping that this mask will help a bit. I will definitely update this page once I try it on. This retails for $10 for a set of 5.

The next two products are by Goodal, the first is the Waterest First Essence, which is a high-tech formula that includes hyaluronic acid and fermented lotus flower to help skin retain its moisture.  I haven't tried it yet. To use it, you need to tap this onto fresh skin until it is absorbed. And the second product from Goodal is a Yerba Mate Bubble peeling and cleansing foam, which was a bonus. I received 2 packets of each. The bubble peeling helps to remove the dead skin for a brighter complexion and the cleansing foam helps to balance the oils and detoxifies the skin. I will be using this over the weekend and will update my review here..

So the total retail price for the full size in this box is $155. I received one full size product for $10.

The winner of my fave product for the month are, first the cream primer, second the fresh mask and lastly the Sheet mask.
